The Special Tax Act of the Last Legis
lature.

| The correspondent of the Portland Pres
from this city sent a long special to tina
paper yesterday, in relation to the ruling o
the Judge of our Superior Court on the prime
' facie clause of the act of the last legislature
concerning the payment of the special tax b,
'iquor sellers. The despatch containe,
nothing that was new to the people of thi
county, as Judge Whitehouse gave tn,
same ruling at the last September term o
court Indeed, we are informed by mem
Der of the bar, that Judge w. raised thu
question in a communication to a prominen
law journal, last May, and foreshalowed hi
ruling at the September term. We under
stand there is no authority for predicting
. what the decision of the law court will be Oh
the point, and the charge of the judge in thi
county had no reference to the probabl,
result of any other case.
The substance of the doctrine laid dow
in the Kennebec Superior court is as follows
1.-The statute in question provides that TIL
payment of the special tax asa liquor selle
| by any person, shall be pytma facie evidence
|that such person is common seller" etc
But by the provisions of our constitution an,
the rules of law which are guaranteed by tb,
constitution, the accused in criminal prose
cutions is entitled to the benefit of the presump
Ition of innocence, and to the right to hav,
the Judgment of his peers" on the question
[of his guilt or innocence If the act was S,
construed as to compel the jury to convie
Ion proof of the payment of this tax, it woul'
practically take from the accused the benefi
of this presumption, and substitute the judg
ment of the legislature for that of the jury
land thus be unconstitutional But i
Unexplained, this evidence may give the jur,
| full satisfaction and authorize conviction
/ They have the right to consider what motiv
IA man can have to pay to the L. S, govern
ment the sum of S25, unless he has fully re
solved to engage in the business thus taxed
1t was all question of fact for them. Tn
Judge did not assume to declare the law uncol
stitutonal, but gave it construction in har
mony with the constitution.
